Lockheed Martin dévoile le Lamprey, un nouveau concept de drone sous-marin « révolutionnaire »
Autonomous warfare is going underwater.
Lockheed Martin unveiled Lamprey MMAUV – a submersible drone that can attach to ships and submarines, save energy and strike covertly.
A glimpse into the future of naval warfare.

🇺🇸 @LockheedMartin vient de présenter un nouveau drone sous-marin baptisé #Lamprey. L’idée : un engin autonome et modulable, conçu pour des missions discrètes de surveillance, de renseignement et d’actions sur les fonds marins, y compris dans des zones très surveillées.
Sa particularité, selon l’industriel : Lamprey pourrait être transporté jusqu’à la zone d’opérations "accroché" à la coque d’un navire de surface ou d’un sous-marin, puis se détacher pour

🏺🍴 Why did ancient Romans love fermented #fish guts, and why did medieval kings risk their lives for #lamprey pie? It turns out that what we consider weird or gross today was once a vital source of #nutrition and a sign of high status.

Aaah! Kill it with fire!!!
I remember seeing lamprey on lake trout we used to catch in the Finger Lakes when I was a kid - the stuff of nightmares!!
It's great to hear that they've been successful in significantly reducing their populations!!

Neuro-robotic experiments are fascinating. I remember the excitement when this team (almost 25 years ago) connected a lamprey fish’s brain to a robotic system. It was able to move its ‘vehicle’ towards lights. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/1043001.stm
But for obvious reasons, fungi are another thing entirely.

#Scientists find #endangered #lamprey #fish in #Queensland, 1400 km north of its previous known range https://phys.org/news/2024-05-scientists-ancient-endangered-lamprey-fish.html paper: https://www.int-res.com/abstracts/esr/v53/p547-553/
"Prior to this study, the species was widely believed to only live in a few streams along a 170 km stretch of coastline near the #NSW / #Victoria border... With this enormous extension of its geographic range, Australian brook lamprey becomes the only lamprey species in the world to live in truly #tropical waters."
The Australian brook lamprey (Mordacia praecox) is part of a group of primitive jawless fish. It's up to 15 cm long, with rows of sharp teeth. Surprisingly, it doesn't use these teeth to suck blood like most lamprey species—it's non-parasitic.
